The inspiration for this room came from a beam of light streaming in from the outside, which seems to make every piece in the room sparkle. Again, there are stark contrasts of darks and lights, blacks and whites — from the smooth texture of a shellacked console to the barnacled rough texture of a conch shell, one is enveloped by natural elements. |

The lovely modern wing chairs seem to have “come to tea” in this New Orleans parlor. The surprise element in this room is the splash of orange on a painted French console sitting comfortably below a pale yellow, deep blue and turquoise painting. |
| The Donghia bed is the “lady” of this room — its simplicity contrasts with the elaborately carved French armoire. The cinnamon colors, mixed with mink brown, sing warmth in an otherwise neutral palette. |  |
